This long-running animated comedy focuses on the eponymous family in the town of Springfield in an unnamed U.S. state. The head of the Simpson family, Homer, is not a typical family man. A nuclear-plant employee, he does his best to lead his family but often finds that they are leading him. The family includes loving, blue-haired matriarch Marge, troublemaking son Bart, overachieving daughter Lisa and baby Maggie. Other Springfield residents include the family's religious neighbor, Ned Flanders, family physician Dr. Hibbert, Moe the bartender and police chief Clancy Wiggum.

Stephen C @bob25009 Jan 3 21 funny episodes, including the Treehouse of Horror episode that debuts the season. See more TheMovieSearch R @TheMovieSearch Dec 8 Season Twelve of The Simpsons marks a notable expansion in creativity and energy, particularly with the introduction of the Treehouse of Horror episodes, which inject a thrilling, unpredictable element into the series. By this point, the show is confidently exploring more imaginative storytelling, pushing boundaries with dark humor, parody, and horror-themed antics while maintaining its core focus on the Simpson family and Springfield’s quirky residents. These episodes not only provide comedic chaos but also deepen the world-building, giving supporting characters and unusual scenarios a spotlight in ways earlier seasons didn’t. The season’s balance of traditional family dynamics, social commentary, and experimental stories keeps it fresh and engaging, proving that after twelve years, The Simpsons remain a juggernaut of animated entertainment with a universe fans continue to fall in love with.

The Simpsons Season 12 was a bit better than Season 11, but is nothing close to the golden age ( not counting Season 1 and counting later Season 2). Two quotes that annoy me that are in the Simpsons are "The Simpsons are going to ( name of place )" and " Sideshow Bob is hereby released from jail". When the Simpsons started traveling places, it was pretty cool. Now the Simpsons travel every season, and it is so annoying. Also Sideshow Bob has been released from jail 6 times so far. Doesn't anyone know that when Sideshow Bob gets released from jail he will have an evil scheme. Another thing is now I like the Flanders episodes more. Although I liked When Flanders Failed and Homer Loves Flanders, the newer ( my newer I mean new to this season) Flanders episodes have a lot of heart, and I like that. The best episode in the season is obviously HOMR, while New Kids On The Bleech is my second favorite, and Trilogy of Error has just a really cool format.I give this season a 79%.
